Once upon a time, Minister He made speeches to journalists and domestic and foreign political leaders, almost all of whom were bitter or heartbroken. His brows never stretched out, and the blood in his mouth was always cold and frozen, because he could not see hope in his position! Navy and national ones could not see it!

But today, in the cold winter of the 16th day of the first lunar month, he felt that his whole body was hot and his blood was boiling! A warm feeling that rose from his dantian flowed all over his body, and it seemed like a steel bar was pressing on his back. He stood very tall. Looking from the high rostrum, he felt a kind of heroic and refreshing atmosphere of "seeing all the mountains at a glance"!

Where did these completely different changes come from? The giant ship and cannon behind you!

The complex and deep faces of representatives from various countries were close at hand. Chen Shaokuan felt bright in his heart. He smiled when he spoke. His cheerful voice spread throughout the dock through the high-power speakers of the warship: "Welcome to attend the first trial ceremony of the two new ships of the Task Force! On behalf of the Navy, the Task Force and the Chinese Navy, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the guests!"

"Today is a great day for the Chinese Navy! After forty years of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, we have regained the world's first-class main warship, representing a new milestone for China's national defense force, representing the unyielding Chinese people's strong belief in pursuing the Supreme People, independent and peaceful reunification. As the descendants of the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, Shao Kuan was deeply moved and more confident. He will do his best to work with thousands of comrades to create a better future together...!"

Almost all of them are nutritious clichés and scenes. Everyone can hear calluses in their ears. But the point is that Chen Shaokuan's attitude, "autonomy" and "self-improvement" that are inseparable from his words! In the past, I rarely said this. If you change to a more intense word, that is, China's affairs. We have to decide for ourselves!

Envoys from all countries basically think so. They are obedient and listen to the voice. They have confirmed that the Chinese are going to demonstrate this time. They park the warships on the dock and watch them casually, and do not take the important weapons seriously, and they obviously have some support!

As soon as Chen Shaokuan finished speaking, Xu Gesen couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Chen, does the service of the two battleships today mean that China began to seek an expansion attitude from now on? Is this public announcement to provoke competition against major traditional naval powers?"

The fact that the British, who had always pretended to be gentle and reserved, so anxiously asked questions and expressed their opinions was how serious the matter was. Chen Shaokuan smiled calmly, and his posture immediately caused a flash light to burst out. The strong confidence that surged from his bones made a large number of women with spring hearts at the scene pour out a large number of people on the spot! A single old handsome guy full of manhood is much more attractive than a so-called beautiful man in the Republic of China like Wang Jingwei!

The knowledgeable Chinese people who reacted very quickly could no longer help but cheer. Chen Shaokuan raised his hand and pressed it lightly and said loudly: "The Chinese navy has been silent for too long. The ambition of the Chinese people needs to be encouraged. As soldiers, we are always eager to be strong, and our first priority is to safeguard the safety of the country's vast seas and territory and not be violated! In China's thousands of years of civilization inheritance, every time it is strong, it does not invade foreign countries. We are more to provide the sharing of civilizations and peaceful exchanges. As for how the countries react, autonomy lies in that, and it is not something we can judge."

Old slippery! Xu Gesen was very jealous. Chen Shaokuan, a rare old-fashioned person in the Republic of China, spoke in a variety of ways, which made it difficult to find faults. Is it a provocation? If we don’t say it directly, you can judge for yourself!

Shigeru Kawagoe lowered his head slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He whispered a few instructions to the people next to him. An immediately a military officer in China jumped up and asked in broken Chinese: "Minister Chen, at the critical moment of the Sino-Japanese peace talks, you openly launched a provocation against the Great Japanese Empire with such behavior, which will inevitably cause serious damage. Does it mean that the Chinese government wants to confront Japan to the end? If you refuse to accept mediation from the League of Nations, you must provoke a war!"

Chen Shaokuan raised his chin, glanced at them at the corner of his eyes, and said lightly: "Has Japan withdrawn from the League of Nations? When did you start to pay attention to the League of Nations attitude? As far as I know, during the so-called peace talks, you transported at least a large number of heavy weapons and equipment from six divisions to Northeast my country. Is this also an effort for peace?"

Without waiting for the purple-faced Japanese retorted, Chen Shaokuan looked up at the audience and said strongly: "Peace cannot be achieved by negotiation alone. China needs strong military forces to maintain its independence, and this is not negotiable."

A tough statement!

The envoys of all countries and representatives from all walks of life were all taking a deep breath. Minister Chen was so tough. It was true that there was a cannon under his butt, full of energy! This was not only for the Japanese, but also for the British and French powers. The Chinese should be self-reliant and self-reliant. You should avoid making trouble! Well, that's what it means!

It was very unfriendly! The atmosphere at the scene immediately became more subtle and weird. Various eyes looked at Chen Shaokuan and the giant ship behind him with complex eyes. They suddenly realized why they did this. In front of the magnificent giant ship cannon, Chen Shaokuan seemed to have condensed all the deterrent power of the tens of thousands of tons of steel monsters. From the inside out, he was filled with a majestic and evil spirit, and was pressing towards him, unstoppable!

German Ambassador Todman sighed lonely in his seat in the VIP area and said to the assistant next to him: "All efforts in the Sino-Japanese peace talks have been wasted! The war will inevitably break out, and the speed will be very fast. Notify the Head of State that we will do our best."

Japan's concessions once made Todman think that he had seen the dawn of peace, and China, which was in constant internal disputes and was in ruins, also needed a relatively long period of peace buffering to recuperate. Everything was originally very ideal, but Chen Shaokuan's speech and the information in his words made him suddenly understand that all the manifestations in the previous few months were just smoke bombs!

Whether it is Japan or China, they have long since believed in any peace talks. Both sides have been working overtime to prepare for the next war, and no one is willing to give in! These two countries will not give up until they are separated!

I believe many people in China are willing to see such news. They think that only one strength in China and Japan is enough, and the Chinese government is gradually turning to the United States and it is impossible for Germany to become an important pawn for restraining the Soviet Union. Instead of watching their strength, it is better to let them fight against Japan and both sides suffer and Germany make a fortune in war. Now, they have succeeded.

Japanese Ambassador Shigeru Kawagoe could not suppress his anger and said hard: "Minister Chen must understand that the patience of the Great Japanese Empire is limited! We will regard your attitude as extremely unfriendly, and any consequences caused by this will be borne by you!"

Chen Shaokuan glanced at him coldly and said proudly: "The Chinese people have never been afraid of the atrocities imposed on us. Since ancient times, Chinese civilization has never been cut off by barbaric invasion for thousands of years! Our giant ships are being set up for such greedy and shameless people! In addition, I want to announce a news that in view of the success of the new warships, our country will begin to design and build a new-level battleship, striving to achieve the historical strength of the sixth gross tonnage of the Chinese Navy in the world!"

Wow! It was like a bomb was placed in the crowd, and the whole scene was in chaos! The faces of representatives from various countries were colorful, so ugly!

First of all, the Japanese. The two sudden battleships made them unable to bear it. The first batch of large ships that started construction at home have not yet been launched. The eight ships in service are at least twenty years old. I don’t know how effective the combat is. These guys are actually going to start construction of a new-level battleship. How big is it and how many are it built?!

And according to their habits, it is said that the design has started, so I guess it has started construction, right?!

Secondly, the British. Military competition directly involves comprehensive national strength. A battleship costs at least tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. How much is China's total national output value? Can they support it? This is not counted. As long as China starts to build ships, Japan will inevitably break the naval agreement, the United States will follow the openly to tear up the treaty, Germany is unwilling to give in, France, Italy and Britain... What should I do? Is there any more to the empire's face if the sun does not set!

Xu Gesen didn't care about the decency and shouted anxiously: "Minister Chen! Do you know how serious the consequences such a statement will cause? The whole world will have a huge crisis. Can China afford it?!"

Chen Shaokuan waved his hand calmly: "I believe that leading countries will be able to handle everything rationally. In this regard, the British Empire is much more familiar than China, and it is beyond my ability to guess. However, I once again emphasize that China's military construction is for peace and self-reliance. We have no intention of provoking military competition. As a former world power, it is reasonable for us to demand the military level we deserve?"

Xu Gesen was speechless immediately. More than 40 years ago, the total amount of the Chinese navy was the first in Asia and the sixth in the world. It was logical to start over now.

But the problem is, today is different from the past. Can it be compared with now? As for the total tonnage of the main battleship, it is the sixth in the world, even if it is equal to Italy, 175,000 tons. China currently has 90,000 tons of new and old battleships, only half of which are 90,000 tons; don’t forget that the Chinese Navy was the first in Asia forty years ago. If it is equal to Japan, it will require a 315,000 tons main battleship... Even if it is the standard of 35,000 tons, at least six or seven will have to be built!

At this time, what does it mean for the Chinese to build six or seven powerful new battleships?! And it is foreseeable that they cannot just create guys with the same tonnage. Chinese people who are not subject to the treaty can play casually. Next time, who knows whether it is a 40,000 tons or a 50,000 tons behemoth!

Japan will definitely go crazy. In order to defend against Japan, the United States will definitely follow up. In order to ensure the checks and balances, the economy that has just recovered will cause a big mess!!!
